Dr. Ellen Conley, Vice President of Student Affairs, said Canisius has a "heightened awareness of the problem." So far, no students have left the college as a result of the recent crimes on campus. Conley asserts that statistically Canisius's rate of crime is lower than most campuses. Conley suggests that students conceal their personal belongings. One student left his belongings outside a racquetball court and returned to find them missing. Conley encouraged students to be careful and keep things out of plain sight. She said Canisius must keep moving forward after these attacks. She also suggests that students pay attention to public safety information because the officers are trained to manage crime. Everett said the office of public safety has gotten several tips. He suggests that students contact public safety as soon as they notice anything suspicious. A student from Campion caught a thief in the act. Officials arrested this known criminal after the student reported the break-in. Only one break-in has taken place since this event. Public Safety is making efforts to counter the attacks. Foot patrols are being implemented to guard the streets. One-way streets, such as Humboldt Parkway, are likely crime targets because criminals can easily hide in darkness. The foot patrols will walk backwards by parked cars so they can detect hiding thieves. Public Safety is working with Buffalo Police to eliminate car breakins. Criminals in a van were reportedly breaking into cars in the police department's E District. With the help of Canisius students, Public Safety was able to report the van's license plate number to the police. To date, five arrests have been made, four in Loring Lot and one near Campion Hall. Canisius's Office of Public Safety is putting up a fight. Car break-ins have been reported on campus as well as in the surrounding Hamlin Park area. According to Gary Everett, director of campus public safety, stolen items include CD's and CD players. Most of the items were left in plain sight. There have been no reported injuries during the break-ins. Perhaps the biggest failure this far is the much-heralded "Kiosks" 'strategically located around campus for student's convenience.'
